Plug the micro-USB power cable into your Fire TV Stick and the other end into the plug adapter and into the wall.

Plug your Fire TV Stick into an HDMI port on your TV (a cable is included to extend the HDMI reach if you've got a particularly tricky TV).

Next, turn on your TV and switch the input to the right HDMI port

You won't be able to interact with Fire TV Stick until you pair a remote. Thankfully, by just inserting the batteries into the included remote, it should pair automatically. If this fails, you can download and use the Amazon Fire TV remote app on your phone.

Now it's time to set up your wireless network. Fire TV Stick should automatically detect your Wi-Fi. Select your network and enter any passwords.

Your Fire TV Stick will then check for updates and download anything it doesn't have before letting you continue. Depending on how new your Stick is and the strength of your connection, this could take some time.

If you bought your Fire TV Stick from Amazon, it will have arrived already logged in and set up with your account, which is handy. If not, don't worry, it's very easy to set up a new account on Fire TV, requiring nothing more than your Amazon login details.

Once done, you'll be treated to an unskippable introduction to your Fire TV Stick, taking you through the basics of what the system can do and how to make the most of its features.

1) Do you have your fire stick powered?
Connected via usb cable to a power adapter
plugged into a power strip that has the power on,
power switch is off....so on.

2) Do you have your TV input set to the correct HDMI input?
Depending on the model you may have 2 to 4 HDMI inputs.
This is the most common error.
Please make sure the input is set to the correct input
of where your fire stick is plugged in to.

3) If you have power and the input in your TV is set.
And you still have nothing.
Then your firestick might be defective.

Do not place your wireless router or Amazon Fire TV device in a cabinet, as it impacts your Wi-Fi signal strength.

Also, try this for Fire TV Stick:

Use the included HDMI extender to optimize the location of your Fire TV Stick. The HDMI extender can improve your wireless connectivity by positioning your Fire TV Stick further from the TV.

Plug the power cord into the included power adapter and then into a wall outlet to ensure the device receives enough power for optimal performance.
